The Ghosts That Surround Us, Oooohh!

THE GHOSTS THAT SURROUND US, ooOOhH!
     Written By the Poets Listed After The Poem.

The Internet Ghost has struck again. 
He and the “Sock Thief” must be ghost friends!
Ham and cheese omelet- Stolen at dawn.
Faster than a bullet!  That is wrong.
Not sharing with his good friend one crumb,
He licks his greedy chop, hungry bum.
He scrambled my words. Messed up my verse!
I have lost my thoughts!  What could be worse?
Snatched, by a ghost 'The Internet Curse'.
What could be worse? Well! Losing a purse.
Halloween's spook day is drawing near.
Fun shall surprise one!  Do not have fear.
His screen will freeze green, his face turn white.
The cyber-spook plots a chilling fright.
Laugh with the Devil...the joke's on me.
Reach through my screen and press delete key.
I loose all my files and try to restore.
Darn that ole ghost has more schemes in store!
All right! I give up! Going to bed,
Lights out, eyes shut, that noise, in my head?

this was fun. I like playing off of what others wrote before me to establish an action in the poem, and everyone loves to laugh with the devil sometimes, he's such a funny demon:) p.s. may I request a change Dane? jokes to joke's, supposed to be one joke and read 'the joke is on me' I abbreviated it for the 9 syllables. Much obliged from a humble contributor.
